You have the success. Where is the fulfillment?
If you feel stuck despite a career that looks good from the outside, you are not alone. Many of us spend years chasing a picture of success drawn by others - parents, teachers, society - and then bounce from one ill-judged alternative to the next. We know something is missing, but not what it is or how to find it.
Career Crossroads is a step-by-step program for finding out. Working through it, you will build a plan for your career and life, and gain three things along the way:
- the self-awareness that informs the plan
- the mindset and self-management tools to carry it out
- an approach to career and life that keeps your journey alive and fresh
Along the way, you will:
- get clear on what matters most to you, rather than the priorities you inherited from others
- shed old, untrue assumptions about yourself and the world
- learn to manage the "triggers" that knock you off balance and cloud your decisions
- identify and assess career and life options shaped by your new self-understanding
- craft a plan with milestones, and build momentum with early wins
With worksheets, templates, and worked examples throughout.
